All hope is not lost for the Boston Red Sox. Not yet.<\/p>\n
The Red Sox enter the final stretch of the season with a chance to make the postseason, which may come as a shock for those who have tuned in to a frustrating second half.<\/p>\n
The Sox went into the All Star break<\/a> with a record of 53-43 after taking a series from the Royals that saw them leapfrog Kansas City for the third and final AL Wild Card spot. Since that day, the Sox have gone 20-28, the third worst record in the American League over that span, ahead of just the Los Angeles Angels and the historically terrible Chicago White Sox.<\/p>\n But despite the second half woes, a chance for October baseball is still on the table. With just under three weeks remaining in the 2024 season, the Red Sox find themselves three games back of a Wild Card spot. If those numbers are shocking to you, you are not alone.<\/p>\n “We\u2019re right there. Still right there. I don’t know how.\u201d Red Sox manager Alex Cora said following Monday\u2019s win over the Baltimore Orioles, \u201cThey show up every day. They work hard, and they did an amazing job offensively today.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “We\u2019re right there. Still right there. I don’t know how. They show up every day.
